is it any better than nature's miracle advanced for getting rid of cat pee?

I have found this product to be vastly better than odor removing products sold in pet stores such as Nature's Miracle. I will not ever go back to using those other very weak and largely ineffective products in pet stores as I have never found them to work sufficiently to actually remove pet odor.

I'm not sure about cat pee but it sure helps with dog and even human pee, caring for an elderly dementia patient isn't easy. I think XO was more effective than Natures Miracle and that stuff is pretty good.

Yes, it works on cat urine if the urine is fresh - If you leave your cat for a weekend and the urine is dry by the time you return it may work. It depends on the material. There is a version of the product specific for cat urine and I've not seen a difference. It's important not to try water or soap first and the worse the stain the more time it needs to soak. I use multiple towels to try todraw the urine out. Nothing is perfect but this is the best product for the job.

I run a cat rescue. To answer my own questions about which cleaners are most effective, I set up an experiment comparing Accel, Benzarid, chlorhexidine, lime-sulfur, DioxiGuard 78, 1:10 bleach, and HealthGuard Laundry Additive (inoculated DTM culture plates, including controls). Accel, hands down, won. Outperformed even bleach. Impressive. I will say that I recommend rinsing off the surfaces as the critters are too precious to risk harm.

Hello Jennifer, this product gets rid of the smell (Really! It doesn't hide the smell, it completely gets rid of it!) and deters the pup from peeing there again. It also gets rid of cat vomit stains. I love this product! It also fades urine stains on carpets and hardwood. Be sure to dilute the solution if you are using a steam machine otherwise the parts you've spot cleaned will be cleaner looking than the rest of your rugs/carpet. It's a life saver! I can invite people over and not have to worry about the smell because there is none!!

As on any spot, make sure to pretreat with one of Nature's Miracle for cat urine. Then cleaning area with a spray bottle mixture of hot water and shampoo as a temporary fix does work, but make sure to blot the area quite well removing as of as much dampness as possible. But truthfully the action of a rug cleaner is best and there are several "Spot cleaners" on the market that are affordable and work quite nicely. Spray bottles and a sponge just can't get as deep as the urine already had. Using a product to break down the urine is as important as this shampoo, they work hand and hand. But how well you use the shampoo makes all the difference. Again as a quick fix use by hand, but a machine is best.

While we have not used for Cat urine, we have 3 dogs, one is ill and has an "issue" so she tends to go in the same spot. Recommendation 2 minutes is longer than you think - leave the solution on for fully prescribed time AND do entire area where they are going, not just the "spot" itself - this seems to work.

I use Natures Miracle intense defense clumping cat litter (PetSmart). It comes in a 40 lb bag (It may come smaller-- havent looked). I saved back a couple of Tidy Cats jugs (Tidy Cats DOSENT Work for me) and put the Matures Miracle in them for handy use. I have 2 litter boxes 1 upstairs and one downstairs and the stuff really works! if the hopper is stinky just put a cup or so of the litter in it the Contious Clean does a very good job of sifting out unclumped litter and only a bit of the loose stuff ends up in the hopper. Sometimes thats not enough to control the stinky stuff. Also I have the boxes on timers that runs 2 hours twice a day. I got those at Home Depot the 2 pack of GE times was only about $10.00. I think having the box run 4 hours a day instead of 24 hours a day will help extend the life of the things and having the waste sit buried with litter may help kill the odor. (Dosen't keep things stirred up all the time.)

I don't know but that's actually my next test. I have cat urine stains that I have tried shampooing with no luck. I'm going to use the nok-out in the shampooer and give it another go. My guess is that it will remove the smell, but probably not the stain.

I use Arm & Hammer but I believe that any comparable litter would work out fine. The Nature's Miracle is merely a receptacle for the litter & adds an impregnation of baking soda as an adjunct for odor control. Works very well for my cats & me!

I tried it, and it worked ok, but I had better luck with the Pure and Simple brand crystal cat litter. The natures miracle just doesn't last as long, but I also have 3 cats so that is a large factor.

Leave it alone....this product uses enzymes that work afterward, leaving a smell for a day or two if its too badly saturated with urine, but the smell WILL go away after it finishes eating at the "mess" (literally). I have used Nature's Miracle on an apartment I was cleaning that had badly soaked carpets, and the day after, you could barely walk into the house, because the odor of the urine and an "alcohol smell" that is a byproduct of the enzymes doing their work, but after the second day, ALL of the smell was gone, and the carpets looked like new. This stuff works, but people need to know, this is ENZYME based, not chemical or soap based, so it takes TIME to do its job, but it WILL do it, and do it well. Think of enzymes as little critters that live off of urine, blood, and feces, and will eat and eat until they have nothing else to eat. After a couple of days, you can clean the carpets again to get rid of any remaining traces that may be left, but if you don't give this stuff time to do what it does, you are just wasting your money (like the guy that called in the "pros" afterward...all they did was soak up the enzymes that were already doing their job, then probably putting more on there along with some sort of chemical deodorizer that seals the urine into the carpet and padding so you couldn't smell it, which in return, will not allow enzymes or anything else from that point on to remove what urine they sealed in). So...use this stuff, then, LET IT SIT AND DO ITS JOB, even if its for a couple of days, it will work, DO NOT RINSE, after a few days, re-clean the carpet if you like, but don't do it BEFORE ITS DONE WORKING!! The added smell means its doing its job, not that it didn't.

I have never used the other kind of Nature's Miracle. But to take out those particular smells, I would use Just for Cats. I have used it on clothing and it didn't hurt the fabric at all (cotton fabric) and the smell was gone, but with fabrics, I always spray this on, let it sit for a couple of hours, then wash it in warm water with Tide. (Is it okay to say that? :) ) The smell has always come out. 'Hope this is helpful!

if its cat urine or I would certainly use the one specifically for cat urine. Depending on the amount of urine an dhow long before washing you may want to soak it in the NM and some good detergent beforehand.

It might work - Nature's Miracle is an enzyme that destroys cat urine - since your stain has dried, you will have to soak the carpet, padding and anything else that may have urine in it - you may have to soak it, let it sit a day or two (maybe cover with plastic) and then soak again and again. Certainly worth a try. PS. From my experience, Nature's Miracle doesn't spot - I've used it on furniture and rugs. Good Luck!!

I'm not sure specifically on cat urine as my cat didn't use the carpet as a potty. But, there was a large spot from the previous homeowner's dog that it did a great job on. I did have to go over it twice (probably because I needed to make sure there was no return of the awful smell). I was quite surprised at how well this cleaning solution worked.

It certainly should work. It worked for me after I found cat stains that were older than one week, and if you know anything about cat urine, it is much stronger than accident from a dog. Good luck!
